As far as I can see you're right - the footnotes and sidebars have been converted to links to make the conversion to hTML simpler. As you say - it's easy enough to tweak the code to make them footnotes and sidebars again.
If you're on a Mac, there's another step that needs to be done. The Mac version of DropBook assumes the PML file is in Mac OS Roman encoding, whle internally, all ereader files use Windows Latin-1 encoding, so on a Mac it's important to re-encode the pml file before using DropBook.

As best as I can tell, erdr2pml.py seems mainly to support conversion to HTML rather than to recreate the original PML architecture. I've created a custom version, but as a USA citizen  , I have little desire to even post in DarkReverser's blog.
